Questions and Answers
As a Kent homeowner, my lawn has dead patches and my sprinklers don't cover everything. Can you help?
Absolutely. This is a frequent issue we address for homes in our area. We start by diagnosing your specific irrigation system to identify coverage gaps or malfunctions. For the lawn, we assess soil health and drainage, which are common culprits. Our solution often involves repairing or reconfiguring the irrigation for even coverage, followed by soil amendment and strategic sodding or seeding to restore a lush, uniform lawn. We focus on creating a resilient landscape suited to Kent's microclimates.
We're considering adding a deck and a patio. Do you handle both design and construction?
Yes, we provide a complete service. Our team handles the entire process from initial deck and patio design—considering your home's layout, your usage needs, and local materials—through to final construction and installation. This integrated approach ensures a cohesive outdoor living space that flows well with your property and is built to last. By managing both design and build, we maintain clear communication and consistent quality, simplifying the project for you.
What's your process for a kitchen or bathroom remodeling project in an older Kent home?
We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your vision and assess the existing space, paying close attention to the structural and plumbing realities common in older homes. Our skilled team then manages every phase, from initial design and securing permits to construction, electrical, plumbing, and finishing. We prioritize clear communication, providing honest timelines and budgets upfront. Our goal is to modernize your space while ensuring all work meets current building codes and is completed with a level of care that respects your home.
